Does anyone have a portable charger for their new htc evo? I have 3 batteries for my moment right now, and i hate changing out the batteries. Not really hate, but im lazy and i don't like it if i cant get to a place to charge the battery. So i bought this Splash Intense 5400mAh. Hoping it works out fine, should be here by next Monday.

I did search and read the other threads, but has anyone had experience with portable chargers with the Eris?
I am headed to Bonnaroo and I am sure I'll be using the phone a lot so I was looking at the smaller portable chargers that run off of AA batteries. Figuring I'll need a mid day charge so I want a smaller one to throw in my pack.
Is there a way to make the vibration for notifications more intense and different than each other? the one i currently have for texts i can hardly feel in my pocket. Is there a way to change this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone have any experience using generic, non-Verizon-sold chargers with their X?
I know the original Droid would get fussy with many aftermarket/generic chargers; that's the only reason I ask this.
The chargers Verizon sells are an absolute scam. I buy all my cables from monoprice.com and I was planning on buying 10 3' and 3 6' USB cables from them for charging my X (3' are currently on sale for $0.48 a piece!). I noticed that Monoprice also sells a few generic wall chargers but a few people mentioned issues with the Droid, so I'm a bit leery about ordering them with the intent of using them for the X.
Has Motorola been kind and decided to let us charge our X's off of any USB source of power, or are we locked in to Verizon-sold overpriced nonsense?
This is wierd but the phone will not charge with a car charger.no issues at home into the wall or into the PC USB the chargers are good because they worked fine on my friends droid and he is running the same ROM as me, since I installed it for him, I know this for sure.Does anyone have any ideas, this is an insanely annoying issue. Phone seems to always be dead when i need google maps.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've tried two aftermarket car chargers for my hero now, both of which just just just barely charge my phone if I don't use it. Like less than 10% charged in 1 hour. Neither of them would hold my phone's charge steady while plugged in if I was using it. Just slowed the discharge rate somewhat.
I've got my eye on an HTC branded charger that you can look at here. Does anyone have it? Does it actually charge the phone? I would imagine it does considering it's from HTC, but I wanna make sure before I drop 26 dollars (with shipping) on a charger, only to find out it works the same as the cheapo ones.
I just got my Samsung ETA-U90EWE charger (US plug) from eBay and when I use it to charge my Note 2 it shows that it delivers 1698mAh of current into the phone. However, when I use the ETA-U90UWE (UK plug) that comes with the phone, it also displays the same input current, but with the UK one, it charges much faster.
Note: In both cases, I use the same USB cable which came with the phone and both charger delivers the same 2A current at 5V.
I'm not real savvy about the power situation for the Sprint Hero that I just bought. The OEM power source says that the input is standard 100-240V. The OEM output shows as 5V=1A. Now, I have other USB chargers (e.g., for my iPod). The input is the same (100-240V), but the output is:
Output: 5.0V=400mA. Can anyone tell me (a) whether this will HARM my Hero, and (b) whether this will effectively CHARGE my Hero? Also Connecting to my computer via the USB cable: does the charge take longer than if connected directly to a wall charger?
I woke up today to my phone being off, I tried turning it on, and it said low battery - I was able to use it for 10 seconds and then it died. So I tried charging it. It has been "charging" for two hours and now refuses to turn on. But now it constantly buzzes every two seconds. I have 3 chargers, so in case the one I was using was broken, I tried the others, same thing. What is going on?
Now before you say that THIS IS THE REASON! My phone was on the sofa and fell into my dog's water bowl, the second it fell I took it out and checked everything. The inside didn't even have a single drop in it. And the little cotton indicator hasn't changed colour. I have small hopes that this can be repaired.
I am just PRAYING that this isn't because of the water. I am always careful and handle my phones well. But the rare times they slip, they fall in the smallest spaces with water in them. Example, my past phone was tipped from the nightstand and fell perfectly into a cup of water that was on the floor, that was JUST big enough to fit the phone. Same thing with the water bowl, out of ALL the spaces my phone could fall on the floor, it falls right into a tiny space of water...
I'm not sure if this is the problem - but it could be...sorry for the long post, but could REALLY use your help - and this is the best place to find it! Last night I hooked up my Droid to charge on this charger: Amazon.com: Lenmar ACUSB4 AC Travel Adapter for up to 4 USB Powered Devices (Black): Electronics.I went and checked on it later and it was turned off. This was after about 2 hours. The power button wouldn't work and I had to pull the battery to get it to turn on.
So I was thinking that maybe the charger wasn't good enough. Granted, it's not rated all that high but reviews have people charging an iPod, iPhone, Blackberry, and Kindle all at once with it.
It has the 5V output but a lower MA rating (I think 300ma input is what it says). I have another single port charger that only has 500ma (before people come in and say you NEED 800ma or whatever) and it works fine. Anyhow, I tried to replicate the problem by plugging it back into the charger (I wanted to see if it was the charger, or something I did, like set it down too hard...as I have the business card under the battery trick for the back case, thought maybe I dislodged it and was covering the leads or something), and after 8.5 hours, no problems. Fully charged, it was on this morning when I woke.I would REALLY prefer to have a multiple USB charger (even if it costs 50 bucks or more) because I travel a TON and have a bunch of USB devices (6+) that need charged.
If anyone has a metamorph theme from another device that they want ported to the ally just reply with the theme name here and I will port it and upload here.

I would like to install Android - not on a mobile phone, like it's commonly down - but on a navigation device. In doing so I want to completely remove the old operating system and replace it with Android. Is this even possible, provided the hardware matches Android's requirements, or are there other criteria to be aware of ?
When this feature comes out in the update, will it be free to use and will it use up any of my internet allowance when on o2?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using SQLite in a project used by an android application. Currently I am using the SQLite implementation provided in android.database.sqlite.
I want to make a desktop application which uses the same codebase. So I need to separate all the shared behaviour into a separate portable project/jar.
My problem is I'm currently making heavy use of android.database.sqlite. If possible I do not want to re-write every database access call to be compatible with JDBC or whatever I will have to use without using the android provided SQLite.
To solve this problem with minimal impact on the existing code. I intent to write a SQLite interface (compatible with android.database.sqlite) which the shared code will use... on android it will be implemented trivially by android.database.sqlite, and on the desktop it will be implemented by somehow mutilating SQLite through JDBC to match android.database.sqlite.
This is proving difficult as I often supply Object[] arrays to be bound to prepared statements which JDBC requires strict typing, and I am not familiar with JDBC at all.
Is there any other way to use SQLite in Java which is similar to android.database.sqlite, or any other approaches which may save me the effort (and inevitable debugging) associated with re-writing many database access points?
Disclamer: I have never until now tried using JDBC.
Simplified question: What is the best way to use SQLite in java? JDBC, other?
I am developing apps using elipse Juno and I want to use my phone, Sony Xperia tipo, as my avd. I have connected it to the pc using the usb cable. However when I go to Window->Preferences->Android->SDK Location->Browse the phone does not show up.
As of today there are no specific usb drivers from the Sony website, just the pc companion.
Is there another way of running self developed apps on my phone? Preferably through the usb port.
I'm looking at how Android supports wifi portable hot spot functionality with a view to writing simple home screen widget that allows people to turn the phone's wifi hotspot on and off without digging into the device settings.
There was nothing obvious at developer.android.com so I dug through my copy of the Android source code and found that the WifiManager class (android.net.wifi.WifiManager) provides the basics to allow the state to be queried. So as well as 'getWifiState()' there is 'getWifiApState()' and a matching set of state constants.
However, in my bang-up-to-date Eclipse IDE, this class has none of the Ap methods or constants. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Hey, does anyone know if, or think that, they'll make a collapsible butterfly keyboard for the Droid? Sitting in it's dock it looks great If I could hook a "full-size" keyboard to it I'd use it as a bit of an emergency laptop when needed. It'd make handling e-mails much easier at the airport, etc. I used to use one all the time on my Palm PDA. With the much bigger screen here it makes much more sense.

I have heard of people who have successfully run mapreduce on a google nexus one. There is no more info on the performance of running a full clustered mapreduce on android.
I would really like to run mapreduce on my phone on a relatively small amount of data non clustered mode, is it really worth it to use the hadoop completely ? is there a stripped version available anywhere? any alternatives?
Is it possible to install everything you need for app development (Java, Android SDK, eclipse, etc) on a USB stick or some other portable media? So that I could develop anywhere I go?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am getting ready for a backpacking trip and taking my Droid along. As of now, I seem to be out of luck as to find a charger that will properly charge my phone when away from the normal means of charging. Has anyone used any portable batteries with their Droid? Right now, I have an APC Universal Battery 10WH and it doesn't charge my Droid at all. I am looking at the Just Mobile Gum Pro 4400mAh.
I have found that the Droids are very picky about where they get their charges from. I have a wall to usb and a car usb converter that doesn't work with mine or 3 other Moto Droids but will work with any other device that will charge via USB (iPod, GPS, other phones, etc.) Also, I have seen that the Minty Boost will charge the Droid, but their kits are backordered right now.
It bugs me that some phones are omitting the lanyard loops. Look at the Nexus One that doesn't have it: http://gizmodo.com/5451349/look-at-this-broken-nexus-one
iPhone didn't have it.
Pretty lame that some phones now are designed without this feature.
I have a Motorola Droid 4 Smart Phone and I would like to be able to access my Verbatim 500GB portable hard drive with it. I have tons of PDF books and other files I would love to access via my phone. I have purchase a 5000mah battery to plug the phone and hardrive into so power is mot a problem. Is there a proceedure for doing this or some kind of program I need??
I personally think this would be an awsome thing to be able to do. Espcially for any smart phone! Just think it would be like having access to your big computer off your phone. I keep my whole computer data on several portable hard drive. When I want access I just plug them into a computer. If I have a computer issue I very seldom loose my data. I have it all backed up on data dvd's and can always put it on another portable hard drive. I can take my whole computer data base any where and use any handy computer.
